Aden,
	The reference is Difference and Rep. p. 209. Ed's comment is on 
target although I tend to think of it a bit differently (or rather, my 
best example is somewhat different). The relation between genotypes and
phenotypes is a virtual actual relation. While the genotype is completely
determined it actualizes itself (in an interaction with an environment 
[braodly conceived]) the actualization bearing no 'resemblance' to its 
virtual components.

	On another note, I'm trying to think about a possible relationship
 between Deleuze's notions of series and event and Foucault/Nietzsche's 
notion of genealogy. Anybody got any thoughts and/or references?
